Steve Round is delighted with his appointment as assistant manager at Everton.

Round told evertonTV: "I knew David from the circuit and playing against him with teams, and I've always admired the way his teams played.

"When I was with England one of my remits was to go around the clubs and watch training. I spent a few days at Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, then I came to Everton because there are a few England players at Everton.

"I went to Bellefield, watched training, and spent a few days with David and I was really impressed."

The former Middlesbrough and Newcastle coach was particularly impressed with the way Moyes made the most of a smaller squad and budget than many other teams.

Round recalled: "Here was a staff and a team that were maximising on the talent, and the budget that they have got. Everything they were doing was, I think, the right thing to do.

"When I was there they had a load of children come in from the local area and all the players took them for a coaching session. I thought, 'wow, no club does that apart from Everton'. Then I thought if I ever got the chance to work with David, I would take it."
